One of my readers commented about my Passion Vine flower, Blue Crown, reminding me of Italy. I did not blog much back in 2015. I will share photos from that trip while I am trapped inside, prior to surgery.
Here is the flower that started my passion for Passion Vines. This vine had grown to cover the fence of our lodgings in Volterra.
The rest of the post will be of doors in Italy. These could be in Volterra, Rome, Florence Venice or Verona.
I had two cameras to work with and took thousands of photos of plants, people, art, food, and doors.
The doors were so ornate and huge that I got carried away taking photos of them. Everything seemed to have more color and detail than I am used to. My eyes stayed wide open the whole time.
FLOW tens years ago, on the go.

What a wonderful collection Flow! And looking back at old photos is a good way to pass the time while you are not mobile. All the best. 🦋

I love to see travel photos and those door are great. I went to Europe in my 20s but now I would be interested in different views. Also, it was back when we used film, so I didn’t take as many photos.

It is fortunate that digital is the way now. I take better photos because I see the results immediately.

True. I wonder what will happen to our thousands of digital photos. I try to print the highlights each year.

I have several back-up versions. Technology will make those obsolete eventually.

Europe is so old and ornate, so much history of empires risen and fallen. It boggles our American minds! Love those old doors. 🙂
